No POI database has EVERY restaurant or POI in it. Don't let POI be the deciding factor because no matter what you get, you won't be happy.

I know that there will now be post after post about how wonderful "brand x" is with POI. Some ARE better than others, but none of them is either complete or totally accurate. And as soon as you buy it a new restaurant will open, or one will close, and the POI database will be out of date.

Bear in mind, the general purpose for PDA software is for driving in new areas, so the fact that there IS a restaurant at exit 55 is more important to most drivers than WHICH restaurant.
